Corona Virus #6

And a far more pessimistic view.

The US may end up with the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the industrialized world - The Atlantic

I'm not saying this is how it will work out. I think it's too early to know. But this author has summarized some of the available thinking by specialists who should know something.

Endless speculation ... nobody KNOWS what is going to happen. Only time will tell. :2cents:

With all the info coming in hourly and changes daily as a person like everyone else I am trying to find a balance prepping, prevention and what ifs. Its taking its toll on me mentally but I know Im not the only one.

I agree with two weeks isolation and despise anyone who ignores it that doesn't have to. IMO this will hopefully break the escalation in numbers to a more manageable figure and allow responders to get better equipped and prepared.

If you dont adhere to the lock down you could help its prolonging so much it will bring financial ruin to everyone.

Most schools were on spring break the weeks of March 10-14 and March 17-21. So, add 14 days to those and you get March 24 - April 4.

But then we need time for the virus to spread from the infected spring-breakers to their home sites.
Mardi Gras was February 25, 2020, and that took about a month. So I'd be thinking it might be a little late for Easter before the cases start piling up.

I don't see a "balance", we all should have been prepared for something to occur.
As far as 2 weeks isolation - until they get a vaccine that will prevent it we are on shaky ground. I'd like to just keep isolation until a vaccine is available.

What's is coming from New Orleans is my concern. Isolation efforts are ending with Spring weather and the start of the AG season. Diet and general health are more poor in the south. Obesity is more common and we know obesity makes COVID-19 more of a killer.

Yeah, but they were starting from 'scratch'.

Mao Zedong managed to kill 45 Million in 4 years of the "Great Leap Forward". Plenty of practice.

True, but 14,500,000 in one crematorium in 3 months as the original post implied, give me a break
